OEM Carrier 2-Pole Contactor 30 Amp 24V (HN52KC025) for Model PY3PPA036060NA

This OEM-spec 2-pole contactor is the factory-authorized replacement for part number HN52KC025 (current OEM equivalent: HN52KC024), used in Carrier PY3PPA036060NA split-system and packaged HVAC equipment. The contactor is the high-voltage switching relay at the heart of your outdoor unit — when the thermostat calls for cooling, a 24V signal energizes the contactor coil, closing the poles and sending 240V power to the compressor and condenser fan motor. A failed contactor means your system won't respond to a cooling call, may run continuously without shutting off, or you'll hear chattering and buzzing from the outdoor cabinet with no compressor start.

• Specs: 2-Pole (Double Pole) | 30 Amp FLA | 24V AC Coil | 50/60 Hz | 600V rated contacts | Factory-matched drop-in replacement for OEM part HN52KC025
• OEM vs Generic: OEM contactors use factory-spec silver-alloy contact points calibrated for your unit's exact load profile. Generic contactors frequently use lower-grade alloys that pit and weld prematurely under repeated cycling, leading to compressor damage or a unit stuck in the ON position.
• Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always shut off power at both the disconnect box and breaker before starting. Tools needed: flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, needle-nose pliers, multimeter. Photograph all wiring connections before removal. Discharge any capacitors nearby before reaching into the cabinet. Standard two-screw terminal swap — no soldering required.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock and ships same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Designed for the Carrier PY3PPA036060NA unit. OEM part HN52KC025 has been superseded by HN52KC024 — both are covered by this listing. Always verify coil voltage (24V) and pole count (2-pole) against your unit's wiring diagram or data plate before ordering. Our fitment team is available to confirm compatibility before you buy.
